Book description:
In
The Nine, acclaimed journalist Jeffrey Toobin takes us into the
chambers of the most important—and secret—legal body in our country, the
Supreme Court, revealing the complex dynamic among the nine people who
decide the law of the land. An institution at a moment of transition,
the Court now stands at a crucial point, with major changes in store on
such issues as abortion, civil rights, and church-state relations. Based
on exclusive interviews with the justices and with a keen sense of the
Court’s history and the trajectory of its future, Jeffrey Toobin creates
in The Nine a riveting story of one of the most important forces
in American life today.

Review |
|
As only Jeffrey Toobin can do, he paints a deep and rich picture of
the inner sanctum of the Supreme Court. This is a book based on
fine research, good judgment, and intelligent analysis.
Fascinating conclusions drawn from the study of the various
personalities and character traits as well as conclusions drawn from
effects of various world events make it hard to set aside. One wants
to know more and more about these endlessly interesting choices and
the paths that brought them to their powerful positions.
